Upside Town (Walkabout Mini Golf)
One of the biggest disappointments of VR, at least to me, is that it's generally lacked imagination. The vast majority of games in VR are just copies of existing genres. It's such an opportunity to do things you couldn't do in real life, but no one seems to have the imagination.Boy, did I find the exception.
Walkabout Mini Golf released a new course today called Upside Town. It's basically what would happen if M.C. Escher designed a mini-golf course. It's a fabulously detailed downtown of a city that bends reality in every imaginable way. You put off walls, and ceilings, and through gravity warps, and it stretches your brain in all kinds of remarkable ways.
It's absolutely spectacular, and it's an experience you could never have in real life, because much of what it does is impossible. It's not impossible in VR, though, and I don't think I've ever been so amazed by a game. The level of imagination is uniformly incredible.
This course should also be coming out for PC and PS5 VR, so if you have a headset, it's a mind-blowing experience.
